FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to the field of medicinal chemistry. More specifically, it relates to novel triterpene derivatives, preferably glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives that have pharmacologic activities, formulations containing such and their use to diagnose, cure or prevent certain diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Licorice root is one of the most ancient medical plants being used in the traditional Chinese, Tibetan, Indian and Arabian medicine. The most important, and well-known bioactive component of licorice root is glycyrrhizin (GL), a natural product of the class of triterpene glycosides, also called saponins. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is the aglycone of GL and thus consists only of the triterpene part without the attached sugar molecules (see FIG. 1). A variety of pharmacological activities for GL and GA have been reported over the last decades comprising in vitro and in vivo studies. A good number of publications can be found in the field of steroid metabolism predominantly describing the inhibitory activity for 11β-HSDs with various pharmacological effects. GA has been widely reported as a potent inhibitor of intercellular gap-junctional communication most likely involving connexin43. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory/immunemodulatory effects were reported suggesting several targets involved in the inflammatory process. Several papers report liver protective and anti-cancer properties whereas the impact on apoptosis/oxidative stress has been discussed controversially. Finally, antibiotic and antiviral effects have been reported comprising antibacterial effects on periodontopathogenic bacteria.

The pharmacology and toxicology of GL and GA has been comprehensively reviewed [1-7].

Impact on Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress

GA is a potent inducer of mitochondrial permeability transition and can trigger the pro-apoptotic pathway. GA is a potent inhibitor of bile acid-induced apoptosis and necrosis in a manner consistent with its antioxidative effect, significantly decreases neutrophil-generated oxygen species and inhibits the generation of inflammatory mediators. Below a certain concentration, GA prevents oxidative stress and mitochondrial permeability transition but at higher concentrations GA induces oxidative stress in certain tissues. GA reveals also an effect on the protein expression of markers of oxidative stress (PAI-1 and p22^(phox)) and scavenges oxygen free radicals in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). In addition GL stimulates DNA synthesis, proliferation in hepatocytes, and tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGF receptor and p42 MAP kinase.

Antibiotic and Antiviral Effects

GL, GA and derivatives showed inhibition of replication, growth, proliferation or specific proteins of various viral and bacterial pathogens in vitro and in vivo. Examples include SARS-coronavirus replication, influenza A virus (H1N1, H2N2, H3N2), herpes simplex virus (HSV), hepatitis C virus, hepatitis A, HIV-1-induced cytopathogenicity, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hyaluronate lyase from Streptococcus agalactiae, diverse species of periodontopathogenic and capnophilic bacteria, clarithromycin- and metronidazole-resistant strains of Heliobacter pylori, plaque formation in Japan encephalitis virus (JEV), vaccinia virus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and Leishmania donovani.

In addition GA and GL result in reduced levels of IL-10 and IL-4, but increased levels of IL-12, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and inducible NO synthase.

Liver Protective Effects

GA and GL treatment significantly reduces the increase of serum transaminases induced by D-galactosamine (GalN), CCl4, or retrorsine. GA inhibits the proliferation and collagen production of hepatic stellate cells (HSGs), down-regulates the mRNA expression of type III and I procollagen, and reduces the deposition of type III and I collagen in fibrotic liver. GA also prevents the depletion of glutathione in the livers of CCl4-intoxicated mice and protects gel entrapped hepatocytes from tacrine toxicity.

GA treatment attenuates bile duct and hepatocyte damages in acute vanishing bile duct syndrome (AVBDS) rat model induced by α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT).

Anti-Inflammatory and Immunmodulatory Effects

GA and GL inhibit secretory type IIA phospholipase A2 purified from the synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. GA inhibits the classical complement pathway at the level of C2, complement C3 is a GL-binding protein and GA induces conformational changes in C3. In the presence of GA, two trypsin-resistant fragments of C3α were immuno-precipitated with anti-C3α which could be selectively purified from the synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, phosphorylation of C3α by CK-2 was completely inhibited by 30 μM GA. GL (100 μM) induces conformational changes in high mobility group box (HMGB)1 and 2 and completely inhibits the phosphorylation of HMGB1/2 by PKC and CK-I.

GA significantly improved bleeding on probing and gingival inflammation in a clinical study evaluating the local application of a paste containing GA.

The anti-inflammatory activity of GA is similar to hydrocortisone on formalin-induced arthritis in albino rats. Repeated treatment with GA significantly inhibits paw edema of rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA) and croton oil-induced mouse-ear-edema, decreases T-lymphocyte ratio, reduces proliferation of synovial cells and pannus formation, and eliminates the destruction of articular cartilage in inflamed joints of AA rat.

GA suppresses TNFα-induced IL-8 production through blockade in the phosphorylation of MAPKs, following IκBα degradation and NFκB activation. GL enhances interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion and IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression. In addition GL promotes tyrosine phosphorylation of p56 induced by anti-CD3. GL augments lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-12 p40 mRNA expression, transcription of IL-12 mRNAs and IL-12-protein production. GL increases production of IL-10 in vitro and in mice with Con A-induced hepatitis. GL inhibits prostaglandin E2 production and release of [3H]arachidonic acid. GA lowers inflammatory capillary permeability, inhibits neutrophil emigration and prostaglandin E2 synthesis, and scavenges free radicals in a rat model of histamine, carrageenan, or ararachidonic acid-induced peritonitis. GA dose-dependently increases NO production and iNOS mRNA through activation of protein/DNA binding of NF-κB to its cognate site, enhances the production of nitric oxide from IFN-γ activated cells and tumor cell killing by macrophages activated with IFN-γ. This tumor cell killing is mainly by nitric oxide.

Anti-inflammatory activities of natural triterpenoids including GA have been reviewed recently.

Short Chain Dehydrogenase Reductases (SDR) and Corticoid Metabolism

GA is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of different hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSD). GA inhibits 11β-HSD 1 and 11β-HSD 2 involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, 3α-HSD involved in inflammatory processes, 3α/β,20β-HSD involved in the metabolism of androgens and progestins, 5β-HSD involved in the metabolism of cortisol, aldosterone and testosterone, and 3β-HSD involved in the metabolism of aldosterone and other steroids.

GL and GA can bind to mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors with low but sufficient affinity in order to explain the mineralocorticoid-like side effects. GA potentiates the action of aldosterone and facilitates the active transport of sodium in frog skin epithelium. GA stimulates an increase in steroid production in adrenal cells lacking intact cell junctions.

Especially the modification of corticosteroid levels by inhibition of 11β-HSD 1 and 2 by GA has been connected to numerous biological states and diseases. Examples include the reversible, gradual, constant and significant increase in systolic blood pressure, reduction in diuresis and increase in renal sodium retention, the reduction of thigh circumference and thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer in human volunteers after topical application, the reduction of metabolic detoxification of the cigarette smoke carcinogen nitrosamine 4-methylnitrosamino-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), the involution of the thymus and thymocyte apoptosis, the potentiation of corticosteroid effects in cultured primary human bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs), ear swelling in dinitrofluorobenzene challenged mice, human volunteer skin vasoconstrictor assay and lung tissue, the retardation of the development of autoimmune disease, as well as the increased glucose use in subregions of the hypothalamus, hippocampus, neocortex and subthalamus.

11β-HSD mRNA is expressed in neurones of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) where corticotrophin-releasing factor-41 (CRF-41) is synthesized and GA decreases the release of CRF-41 into hypophysial portal blood in rats, suggesting that 11β-HSD regulates the effective corticosterone feedback signal to CRF-41 neurons.

Anticancer Effects

GA inhibits oxidative stress DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumor formation, inhibits ear edema and ornithine decarboxylase activity induced by croton oil in mice, protects against rapid DNA damage and decreases unscheduled DNA synthesis induced by benzo[a]pyrene, increases the antiproliferative effect of glucocorticoids In MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells, reduces the tumor weight in rats transplanted with ‘Oberling-Guerin’ myeloma, inhibites proliferation of HepG2 human hepatoma cell line, inhibits the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene, 2-aminofluorene and aflatoxin B1, and protects against tumor initiation as well as tumor promotion by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.

GA also increases the accumulation of calcein, a fluorescent substrate of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) and of daunorubicin, a fluorescent substrate of P-glycoprotein, resulting in sensitivity to anticancer drugs, showing that GA reverses multidrug resistance.

Gap Junction Blockade and Endothelial Relaxation

GA inhibits intercellular gap-junctional communication in human fibroblasts and cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes, as well as type 1 or type 2A protein phosphatase-mediated Connexin43 dephosphorylation in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. GA inhibites fluorescence replacement after photobleaching (FRAP) in primary chick osteocyte cultures, also indicating gap junction blockade.

GA increases the apparent cell input resistance and completely blocks membrane chloride conductance blocked while Na⁺ and K⁺ conductance are virtually unchanged.

GA in a concentration-dependent fashion attenuates EDHF-type relaxations to acetylcholine (ACh), observed in the presence of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and indomethacin, modulates contractions produced by nor-adrenalin or high-K solutions and significantly reduces ACh-induced hyperpolarizations in both, endothelial and smooth muscle cells of guinea pig coronary and rat mesenteric arteries. Inhibition of the EDHF-hyperpolarization and relaxation in the smooth muscle may stem from the inhibition of endothelial cell hyperpolarization. GA quickly blocked electrical communication between smooth muscle and endothelial cells in guinea-pig mesenteric arterioles.

GA inhibits pressure-induced myogenic tone of rat middle cerebral arteries and vasopressin-induced vasoconstriction, increases input resistance in rat isolated mesenteric small arteries, desynchronised isolated smooth muscle cells, and had nonjunctional effects on membrane currents. GA significantly increases the frequency of phrenic bursts decreases the peak amplitude of integrated phrenic nerve discharge in an arterially perfused rat preparation.

GA inhibits the spike component of the action potential (AP), reduces contraction evoked by electrical stimulation, inhibits slow depolarization with superimposed APs and phasic contractions of the ureter induced by neurokinin A, and inhibits the KCl-evoked APs and phasic contractions without affecting the sustained responses in the guinea pig ureter.

GA inhibits frequencies of paced contractions, likely owing to inhibition of I-type Ca²⁺ channels, reduces the amplitudes of spontaneous and nerve-induced contractions, decreases phasic contractions and depolarizes resting membrane potential in murine small intestinal muscles. GA also inhibits the spread of Lucifer yellow, increases input resistance, decreases cell capacitance in interstitial cells of Cajal networks and decreased L-type Ca²⁺ current without affecting the voltage dependence of this current.

GA decreased the postsynaptic light response in murine retinal ganglion cells to 30% of control.

Other Effects

GA reduces the bon resorption in rheumatoid arthritis and periodontits.

GA reduces coughing in guinea-pigs by 50% compared to saline.

GA increases cytoplasmic free Ca²⁺ and inhibits Ca²⁺ increases induced by antigen, ATP, phenyephrine and thrombin. GA inhibites dexamethasone-induced increases in the histamine synthesis and histamine release. GA inhibits histidine decarboxylase and maturation of mast cells, lowers expression of PKC delta mRNA suggesting that the inhibition of histamine synthesis by GA is regulated by nPKC delta. GA significantly inhibits the degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells induced by IgE with the antigen (DNP-HSA) and rat peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80. GA inhibits the passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction as well as the scratching behaviour in mice induced by compound 48/80 and the production of IgE in ovalbumin-induced asthma mice.

GA sodium salt strongly counteracts arrhythmia induced by chloroform, lengthens the appearance time of arrhythmia induced by CaCl₂, slightly retards the heart rate of rats and rabbits, and partly antagonizes the acceleration effect of isoproterenol on rabbit hearts.

GA competitively inhibits the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase of canine kidney basolateral membranes.

GA significantly increases insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in islets isolated from mice and induces mRNA levels of insulin receptor substrate-2, pancreas duodenum homeobox-1 and glucokinase in islets.

Compounds of the Invention

A new class of compounds derived from glycyrrhetinic acid has been identified as drugs for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, bone diseases, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases and cancer. The compounds according to the invention may be readily prepared by a person skilled in the art on the basis of his general knowledge. Results show, that glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives, namely compound 1, inhibit both, 11β-HSDs enzyme activity and TNFα expression. Accordingly, compound 1 and related compounds are a novel class of mechanism-based drugs against chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, bone diseases, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases and cancer that act as inhibitors of 11β-HSDs enzyme activity and TNFα expression.

Accordingly, in one its aspects, the present invention includes a compound selected from a compound of formula I:

wherein R^(3a), R^(3b), R^(11a), R^(11b), R³¹ and R³¹ have the meanings as defined herein.

The compounds of the invention may exist in a continuum of solid states ranging from fully amorphous to fully crystalline. The term amorphous refers to a state in which the material lacks long range order at the molecular level and, depending upon temperature, may exhibit the physical properties of a solid or a liquid. Typically such materials do not give distinctive X-ray diffraction patterns and, while exhibiting the properties of a solid, are more formally described as a liquid. Upon heating, a change from solid to liquid properties occurs which is characterized by a change of state, typically second order (glass transition). The term crystalline refers to a solid phase in which the material has a regular ordered internal structure at the molecular level and gives a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with defined peaks. Such materials when heated sufficiently will also exhibit the properties of a liquid, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase change, typically first order (melting point).

The compounds of the invention may also exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. The term solvate is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising the compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules, for example, ethanol. The term hydrate is employed when said solvent is water. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound the water/solvent content will be dependent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm.

Herein all references to compounds of formula I include references to salts, solvates, prodrugs and multi-component complexes thereof.

The compounds of formula I can be prepared using methods known in the art, for example, 18α- and 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid and their methyl esters may be converted into the corresponding dienones by reaction with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid as per a reported method [8].

The present invention includes radiolabeled forms of the compounds of the invention, for example, compounds of the invention labeled by incorporation within the structure ³H, ¹¹C or ¹⁴C or a radioactive halogen such as ¹²⁵I and ¹⁸F. A radiolabeled compound of the invention may be prepared using standard methods known in the art. For example, tritium may be incorporated into a compound of the invention using standard techniques, for example by hydrogenation of a suitable precursor to a compound of the invention using tritium gas and a catalyst. Alternatively, a compound of the invention containing radioactive iodine may be prepared from the corresponding trialkyltin (suitably trimethyltin) derivative using standard iodination conditions, such as [¹²⁵I] sodium iodide in the presence of chloramine-T in a suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide. The trialkyltin compound may be prepared from the corresponding non-radioactive halo, suitably iodo, compound using standard palladium-catalyzed stannylation conditions, for example hexamethylditin in the presence of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) in an inert solvent, such as dioxane, and at elevated temperatures. Further, a compound of the invention containing a radioactive fluorine may be prepared, for example, by reaction of K[¹⁸F]/K222 with a suitable precursor compound, such as a compound of formula I comprising a suitable leaving group, for example a tosyl group, that may be displaced with the ¹⁸F anion.

To a stirred solution of the appropriate protected compound (0.55 mmol) in methanol (25 ml) were added KOH pellets (5.5 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT. After 48 h the solvent was removed under vacuum and water (25 ml) was added to the residue. The aqueous layer was extracted in DCM (3 times 25 ml) and the combined organic layers were then washed with 2N HCl and finally with water (je 30 ml). The separated organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and the solvent evaporated. Purification of the crude product on silica with a mixture of 0-5% methanol in methylene chloride yielded the final product as white powder.

Carboxylic acid was suspended in dry toluene and SOCl₂ was added at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to come to RT and was stirred for 3 h. According to TLC (DCM:MeOH 9:1, 5 min standing in MeOH) no starting material was converted. Since still a lot of undissolved material was observed first 3 mL of dry DCM were added and then the reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for several hours. After around 2 h the reaction mixture clarified and according to TLC almost all starting material was converted to acid chloride (detected as methylester). The reaction was allowed to come to RT, was evaporated the residue was coevaporated from toluene at RT three times and the residue was dissolved in CH₃CN (5 mL) and was stirred at 0° C. when first TEA and then a solution of BnONH₂ in CH₃CN was added at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to come to RT and stirred for 40 h. The reaction mixture was poured on NaHCO₃/ice. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM, the combined organic layers were washed with diluted chilled HCl, with NaHCO₃, water and brine, dried over Na₂SO₄ and evaporated to give crude material, which was purified by column chromatography (SiO₂: 20 g, DCM:MeOH 50:1)

Example 38 Effects of Compounds on the Activity of 11β-HSD

Cell culture media were purchased from Invitrogen, Basel, Switzerland. [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisol was from Amersham Pharmacia, Dubendorf, Switzerland. [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisone was produced by incubating 1 mCi of [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisol with 1 mg of lysate of HEK-293 cells expressing 11β-HSD2 in the presence of 1 mM NAD+. Incubation was for 16 h at 37° C. The steroids were extracted with ethylacetate, separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) (SIL G-25 UV254, Macherey-Nagel, Oensingen, Switzerland) using a solvent system of 9:1 (v/v) chloroform:methanol and the band corresponding to cortisone was excised. The product was run for a second chromatographic purification step on the same TLC system. A total of 250 μCi of [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisone was recovered. G-418 sulfate was from Promega, Wallisellen, Switzerland. All other chemicals were from Fluka AG, Buchs, Switzerland and were of the highest grade available.

Untransfected HEK-293 cells do not express 11β-HSD1 activity. 11β-HSD2 mRNA was detectable by RT-PCR, but activity was not detectable upon incubation of radiolabeled cortisol with cell lysate for 8 h. HEK-293 cells were transfected with the plasmid for expression of carboxy-terminally FLAG-epitope tagged 11β-HSD1 or 11β-HSD2, respectively, that were described previously [18]. Transfected cells were selected by cultivation in presence of 800 μg/mL of G-418. Non-resistant cells were removed by replacing the cell culture medium every third day for 3 weeks. From these cells, eight clones each were then selected and tested for protein expression, by immunofluorescence analysis using mouse monoclonal anti-FLAG antibody M2 (Sigma) and goat anti-mouse antibody ALEXA 488, and 11β-HSD activity. All of the eight clones of either 11β-HSD1 or 11β-HSD2 transfected cells showed similar expression and activity of the corresponding FLAG-epitope tagged 11β-HSD construct.

HEK-293 cells stably transfected with either 11β-HSD1 or 11β-HSD2 were grown in 10 cm dishes to 90% confluence. Cells were rinsed once with phosphate-buffered saline and resuspended in 2 mL of ice-cold buffer TS2 containing 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM MgCl₂, 250 mM sucrose, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4. For determination of oxidative activity of 11β-HSD enzymes, cells were lysed by sonication and the cell lysate was diluted 1:12 in buffer TS2 (at 4° C.). Reactions were carried out in 96-well optical PCR reaction plates (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) and tubes were capped during the reaction to avoid evaporation. Reactions were started by simultaneously adding 10 μL of cell lysate and 10 μL of TS2 buffer containing the appropriate concentration of the compound to be tested to 10 μL of TS2 buffer containing NAD+, 30 nCi of [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisol and unlabeled cortisol to give a final concentration of 400 μM NAD+ and 10 nM cortisol. Stock solutions of the compounds in methanol or in DMSO were diluted in TS2 buffer to yield the appropriate concentrations, whereby the concentration of methanol or DMSO in the reactions was below 0.1%. Control reactions with or without 0.1% of the solvent showed the same activity. After incubation at 37° C. for 10 min with shaking, 10 μL of stop solution containing 2 mMol unlabeled cortisol and cortisone dissolved in methanol were added. Conversion of radiolabeled cortisol was determined by separation of cortisol and cortisone using TLC and a solvent system of 9:1 (v/v) chloroform:methanol, followed by scintillation counting [19]. In absence of inhibitors approximately 40% of cortisol was converted to cortisone.

Similarly, reductase activity was measured in a reaction containing NADPH, 30 nCi of [1,2,6,7-3H]-cortisone and unlabeled cortisone, whereby final concentrations were 400 μM NADPH and 10 nM cortisone. No loss of 11β-HSD2 activity was observed upon freezing of cell lysates for up to 1 month. In contrast, 11β-HSD1 activity declined after cell disruption, with a concomitant loss of affinity for its substrate but without any significant loss of apparent Vmax. Activities were determined measuring the conversion of either radiolabeled cortisone or cortisol for 5-20 min using substrate concentrations in the range between 10 nM and 10 μM. 11β-HSD1 activities were measured immediately after cell disruption. All measurements included a negative control in absence of environmental compound and a positive control containing glycyrrhetinic acid at a final concentration of 10 μM. Results are expressed as mean±S.D. and consist of at least three independent measurements.

Compound 6 was tested in an assay using intact cells similar to the one described above for cell lysates. The IC₅₀ value in these experiments was calculated to more than 20 μM for 11β-HSD1 and 2.1 μM for 11β-HSD2. In addition compound 6 was tested against murine 11β-HSD2 in a lysate assay as described above for human 11β-HSD2 where compound 6 showed an IC₅₀ of 0.027 μM.
